NOTE:

The notched end of the wiper element flexor should always be oriented towards the end of the wiper blade that is nearest to the wiper pivot.

Lift the wiper arm (2) to raise the wiper blade and element (6) off of the glass, until the wiper arm hinge is in its over-center position.
To remove the blade from the arm, depress the latch release tab (4) on the pivot block (3) under the tip of the arm downward (toward the wiper element and away from the wiper arm) and slide the blade away from the tip towards the pivot end of the arm far enough to disengage the pivot block from the hook formation (5) on the end of the arm.
Extract the hook formation on the tip of the wiper arm through the opening in the wiper blade superstructure (1) just ahead of the pivot block.
Gently lower the tip of the wiper arm onto the glass.
